Elli Kokkinou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ke leme pragmata
Pu den ta ennoume
Ma afinun travmata
Polles fores m' ehis thimosi
Me logia su sklira
Pu diskola ksehniunte meta
Na su to kratiso pano apo lepto
To ksehnao tin epomeni stigmi
Oso ki an me diohnis makria su ego
Toso pio konta su thelo na vretho
Toso pio poli se thelo apla giati
S' agapisa ke ipia apo to filtro su to magiko
Ke tora pia nomizo pos gia mena esi ise o Theos
To alfa ke t' omega mu ki i logiki stin trela mu
To filtro su to magiko tha ftei gi afto
Polles fores anarotieme
An m' ehis varethi
Ma istera ksehnieme
Ke pali ap' tin arhi
Polles fores m' ehis thimosi
Me pragmata pu les
Ke stin kardia mu anigis pliges
Ma oso ke na me thimonis den mporo
Na su to kratiso pano apo lepto
To ksehnao tin epomeni stigmi
Oso ki an me diohnis makria su ego
Toso pio konta su thelo na vretho
Toso pio poli se thelo apla giati
S' agapisa ke ipia apo to filtro su to magiko
Ke tora pia nomizo pos gia mena esi ise o Theos
To alfa ke t' omega mu ki i logiki stin trela mu
To filtro su to magiko tha ftei gi afto
Tha ftei gi afto

In "Magiko Filtro," Elli Kokkinou sings about a past relationship that was filled with communication issues and emotional turmoil. She acknowledges that there were many times when they would argue and say things they didn't mean, leading to unresolved trauma. Despite their issues, she admits that she still loves the person and wishes to be closer to them. She goes on to say that she drank from their "magical filter," which made her feel loved and desired, but now she sees that it was all an illusion. She recognizes that she won't be able to hold onto the relationship because the filter has run dry.
The lyrics paint a picture of a complex, emotionally charged relationship that ultimately ends in heartbreak. It's an honest portrayal of how challenging it can be to navigate love and connection with another person. Kokkinou's vocals are powerful, conveying a depth of soulful emotion that captures the pain and longing in the lyrics.

τόσο πιο κοντά σου θέλω να βρεθώ τόσο πιο πολύ σε θέλω απλά γιατί Σ΄αγάπησα κι ήπια από το φίλτρο σου το μαγικό και τώρα πια νομίζω πως για μένα εσύ είσαι ο Θεός το άλφα και τ΄ωμέγα μου κι η λογική στην τρέλα μου το φίλτρο σου το μαγικό θα φταίει γι΄αυτό <3
